Really the only difference with the fancier ones is they have a screen and payment terminal or NFC terminal for activating and paying. Like a gas pump, although most want you to use their app and membership to save (them) on credit card processing fees.

DC fast chargers are a whole different story, where the AC to DC conversion happens external to the car.
